Chicago Print Maker/Musician Jay Ryan

Chicago screen print artist and musician Jay Ryan is a man of many talents and a true Chicago treasure. Back in 1995, when every indie rock band was screen printing posters and album sleeves on uncoated chip-board, Jay Ryan changed the game up. His youthful images for bands like Andrew Bird, Shellac, June of 44, Tortoise, and Modest Mouse are still jubilant and beautiful today. If you need silkscreen work done for your band's design project, peep him out. Jay's company is known as The Bird Machine. Brilliant!

About Me

The Pendulum of Impossibility is a place for people to discuss Chicago, and try to understand the cultural craziness that is the city of big shoulders.
Chicago represents both the best and worst America has to offer. It's the kind of place where beauty is spontaneous, poverty is measured in decades, music lives and dies, punks buy condos, blues struggles forward, buildings impose structure, and people either drink Budweiser or Miller Light.
It's the Pendulum of Impossibility.
